■Comments from Yoshiaki Taniguchi, Manager of the LINE Yahoo Tech Academy Promotion Office I myself have come into contact with many working women while running the in-house university “LINE Yahoo Academia.” Although each person has different career concerns, I felt that there were many common issues that were unique to women working in Japanese society. Through dialogue, many people have realized that they are not alone in their problems, and have taken on new challenges to realize their own way of life. Some of the career sessions that have been very popular at corporate universities will also be available at this year’s LINE Yahoo Tech Academy. We believe that the diversity of our engineers is extremely important in providing better IT services to a diverse range of users. By supporting the development of female engineers through the LINE Yahoo Tech Academy, we aim to improve DE&I (diversity, equity, and inclusion) throughout the industry, and encourage everyone to understand and respect each other and work in their own way. We hope that this will help realize a society where people can play an active role in society. ■About “LINE Yahoo Tech Academy” Kiramex collaborated with employees who train new graduate engineers at LINE Yahoo to create a curriculum that allows people with no programming experience to acquire the skills necessary to work as web engineers at a business company. Reskilling program. In about 16 weeks, you can learn the skills and know-how to become an engineer from an inexperienced person, and we will provide a wide range of support, including job change support. *1: LINE Yahoo Tech Academy, a reskilling program that supports job changes from inexperienced people to IT engineers, starts recruiting students from today (Press release October 12, 2023) https://www.lycorp.
